Vision read the the object types from the Excel-file with the default name Types.xlsx. Each different component type is shown on a different tab in the Excel-file.
When a component is added or modified in Vision through the use of the object types, all of the parameters are copied and saved in the network file.
Types identification and rated voltage
A component type is identified by its name in combination with its rated voltage. The rated voltage of should fall into a certain range in order to be able to select a specific component type. As a result, the component database may have multiple objects with the same name, as long as their rated voltage, Unom, is not in the same range. This allows, for instance, LV cables and MV cables with the same name.
When adding an object to your network which has associated component types, a drop-down menu will appear in which all possible object types are indicated. These are not all the object types which may exist.
If the nominal voltage Unom is part of the component, only component types with a Unom in the same range will be shown. This range differs depending on the object:
Object |
Typefilter |
Node |
Alle railtypen or 0.75*node.Unom ≤ railtype.Unom ≤ 5*node.Unom |
Cable |
0.75*node Unom ≤ cable type.Unom ≤ 3.5*node Unom |
Reactance coil |
0.75*node Unom ≤ reactance coil type Unom |
Transformer |
0.8*from node Unom ≤ transformer type Unom,1 ≤ 1.2*from node Unom and 0.8*to node Unom ≤ transformer type Unom,2 ≤ 1.2*to node Unom |
Generator |
0.8*node Unom ≤ generator type Unom ≤ 1.2*node Unom |
Motor |
0.8*node Unom ≤ motor type Unom ≤ 1.2*node Unom |
Fuse |
0.8*node Unom ≤ fuse type Unom ≤ 1.5*node Unom |
Switch |
0.75*node Unom ≤ switch type Unom ≤ 4.1*node Unom |
Circuit breaker |
0.75*node Unom ≤ circuit breaker type Unom ≤ 4.1*node Unom |
MODIFICATION
The file Types.xlsx can be modified using Microsoft Excel.
The type data of all components in a network can be exported to a spreadsheet. In this way it becomes easy to modify the component database. See: Type viewer.
With Start | Edit | Update types the parameters of the selected components are overwritten with the values from the component type files. In order for this to work, the type must occur in the component type file.
